Introduction to Primary Computing
and ICTPGCE 2013/14
Understanding the ICT input
• Two lectures:Introduction to Primary Computing and ICTIntroduction to e-safety
• Three practical workshops:Enhancing the wider curriculum with technology (TEL)Interactive whiteboards and visualisersProgression in control technology and programming (Computing)
• Self-study units• Let’s take a look on Moodle…
ICT or Computing?
• Current curriculum – ICT– What have you seen in schools?
• 2014 curriculum – computing – What will this include and why?
ICT within the current National Curriculum
• ‘ICT prepares pupils to participate in a rapidly changing world in which work and other activities are increasingly transformed by access to varied and developing technology.’ p96
The NC sets out what pupils should be taught in each Key Stage.
Context!
What are your expectations of a 2 Year old with ICT?
Level 1:Pupils explore information from various sources, showing they know that information exists in different forms. They use ICT to work with text, images and sound to help them share their ideas. They recognise that many everyday devices respond to signals and instructions. They make choices when using such devices to produce different outcomes. They talk about their use of ICT.
4 NC areas of ICT…
Knowledge, skills and understanding:
1. Finding things out.
2. Developing ideas and making things happen.
3. Exchanging and sharing information.
4. Reviewing, modifying and evaluating work as it progresses.
Foundation Stage ICT :• Based around experience of a world
that has ICT as an integrated part. • Role play should include opportunities
for children to use ICT items in a variety of contexts.
• Children should have opportunities to interact with computers and become familiar with them in simple ways.
Progression in Primary ICT
Moving on… Key Stage 1 ICT:• Explore and learn to use ICT
confidently.• Achieve specific outcomes.• Start to use ICT to develop ideas, to
record creative work.• Develop familiarity with hardware
and software.
Progression in Primary ICT
Moving on… Key Stage 2 ICT:• Use a range of ICT tools to support
work in other subjects.• Develop research skills for choosing
information.• Begin to question the quality and
plausibility of information.• Amend and present work to suit
different audiences.
Progression in Primary ICT
Current arrangements:
• ICT curriculum is disapplied until 2014• Schools may choose to continue with existing
schemes of work – broad and focused on application of a range of commonly accessible technology
• Very little ICT taught as a subject in schools in 2012/13…
The 2014 curriculum
• Computing not ICT!
• A focus on computer science rather than soft MS office based skills…

What do we mean by computing?
In conclusion:
• 2 curricula: ICT until 2014. 2014- Computing• You are unlikely to see ICT the subject unless it
is computing as a lesson – cross curricula use of ICT (technology enhanced learning)
• You will need to visit the Moodle page for readings and resources
• Remember Corporal Jones…
